Overall:
A delightful experience living like a local, in an unusual villa, with an historical Saracen Tower!Enjoyed Most:
The views and the beautiful furnishings. All the bedrooms were furnished with care and imagination. The place had great character reflecting the owner's sense of Italian history in this area.
It was a great home with various levels affording privacy for different guests. The views were beautiful.Enjoyed Least:
The internet didn't work most of the time. The pool is small, but since it was too cool to swim, for us this wasn't an issue. In the summer heat, it is probably great to cool off. Surrounding Area:
This is a great area, close to Sorrento and Positano. Easy access to Capri. We explored the coast, even driving all the way to Amalfi, although in the summer this is probably a greater challenge with tour buses. We enjoyed seeing the coast and sampling restaurants along the way.Nearby Events or Locales:
Massa Lubrense is the town we were in, and therefore, it was an easy walk from the villa to explore the little town which had interesting restaurants and shops...making us feel like locals. There was a coffee bar where we headed each morning for a cappuccino and pastry. Italian coffee is the best! Tips or Restaurants:
Don't try and park in the villa's parking spaces...park on the street and walk up the villa via a long steep driveway. When we were met by the caretakers, they suggested we leave the car parked on the street and forego driving up the very narrow and steep driveway. They offered to bring our luggage up for us. We bravely decided to drive up the driveway and park at the top. The next day we moved the car to the steet, and no longer braved the driveway challenge. We walked up from the moment on. It was good exercise.Directions:
We had no trouble finding the Villa and called an hour before arriving just to make sure it would be no problem. They met us at the property.Check In Out:
Check in/check out was no problem.

Overall:
It was a beautiful setting and a great property Enjoyed Most:
The views were very nice, the tower bedroom was great. Enjoyed Least:
The erratic nature of the WiFi was not good. Much of the time it was not available. The steep hill up to the parking was problematic. However, one could park on the street. Surrounding Area:
Capri and Sorrento are nearby. The Amalfi coast is, too. Nearby Events or Locales:
Massa Lubrense was definitely within walking distance and offered a tourist office, restaurants, and bus transportation to Sorrento. Tips or Restaurants:
No.Directions:
I used a smart phone mapping App. Because of the steep uphill location it can be hard to find exactly where it is.
